‘You Won’t Want to Miss the Folio: Show and the CEO Summit This Year’Perspectives from some of the smartest people in the business on the importance of next month’s special gathering.

Well, we’ve been working all year to put together a top-notch, rethought Folio: Show that’s even more relevant to the media-ops class—the managers, directors, VPs and executives who get things done and want to learn more about who’s doing what that’s working in 2015.

We created new tracks—marketing, revenue and content—that reflect the leading edge of what works and the dead center of what’s proven to succeed. We lined up some spectacular keynoters, and created a great new keynote panel of superstar CMOs.

We redesigned our exhibit hall, and forged countless new ways for attendees and exhibitors to connect. In fact, our basic operating premise for the Folio: Show is that it reflects the issues, challenges and opportunities that so many people around the industry—publisher and vendor alike—talk about every day.

We established advisory boards for both the main Folio: Show and our exclusive, co-located CEO Summit.

We’re now within a month of the event, and after all the work we’ve put in so far, the response has been terrific. This is, truly, the single event in the magazine-media industry that you MUST attend. And it’s gratifying that so many people in the business recognize the essential value of this event, and the compelling need to be a part of it, on site, on October 19-21 in New York.

Here are some direct, first-person perspectives on the event from our advisory board members.
